RUNWAY DETERMINATION BASED ON A CLEARANCE RECEIVED FROM TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM

Abstract:

In some examples, a system includes a memory configured to store a database comprising a map of a plurality of runways in an aerodrome and a receiver configured to receive a clearance for a vehicle from a traffic control system. The system also includes processing circuitry determine that the vehicle is active on a first runway of the plurality of runways based on a state vector for the vehicle and based on the map of the plurality of runways. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine that the vehicle is active on a second runway of the plurality of runways based on the received clearance. The processing circuitry is further configured to confirm whether the first runway matches the second runway and present, via a display, an indication that the vehicle is active on the first runway in response to confirming that the first runway matches the second runway.
